Century egg is a Fermented egg aka alkaline egg originally from China the taste is lightly salty and definitely it is edible and delicious as normal egg   +5  A century egg (also known as a thousand-year egg or pidan) is a traditional Chinese delicacy made by preserving duck, chicken, or quail eggs in a mixture of clay, ash, salt, and quicklime for several weeks to months. This alkaline curing process transforms the egg, turning the white into a dark, gelatinous amber or black jelly, and the yolk into a creamy, dark green center. [1, 2, 3] Flavor and Profile Despite their intimidating name and appearance, century eggs are not rotten. They have a rich, complex, umami flavor often compared to ripe blue cheese or cured meats, with a slight, signature sulfurous note. [1, 2, 3] How to Eat and Serve Century eggs are ready to eat right after peeling and do not require further cooking, though heat can mellow out their distinct aroma. They are rarely eaten on their own but are commonly incorporated into other dishes: [1, 2] Congee (Rice Porridge): They are diced and stirred into warm porridge, often paired with salted lean pork. With Tofu: Sliced and served over cold, silken tofu, drizzled with soy sauce, sesame oil, and topped with green onions. Pickled Ginger: They are classically paired with slices of sweet and sour pickled ginger to balance their intense flavor.
